Take a walk with OAK at the beautiful Lake Martin while local expert Patti Holland guides us on birdwatching. Lake Martin is one of the state's largest nesting sites for water birds. Many species of waterbirds can be found year round. Anhinga, Great Blue Heron, Great Egret, White Ibis and Roseate Spoonbill are some of the many species that can be spotted from along the edges of Lake Martin. Many other species also share the Lake, so be observant and you may find reptiles and amphibians, like snakes, frogs, turtles and even alligators!  * Supplies to bring: Water, a snack and binoculars if you have a pair.
